Murray's job is safe, the Tampa Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Murray connected on 20-of-24 field-goal attempts as a rookie, going 5-of-6 from 50+ yards and 6-of-7 from 40-49. It thus comes as no surprise that he won't have to fend off any real competition, and he could become a decent option in his second season, with the Tampa Bay offense likely to improve. The extent of that improvement remains to be seen, as the play of rookie QB Jameis Winston is the biggest variable.
